A very bad experience with Sun'N Fun!! - I have been on two trips with FunN Sun and they were the most horrible trips in my life. The guide who accompanied us up the mountain abused my daughter and I complained to the police. It was the worst experience for us. On another trip to the sea, the dive leaders also tried to abuse my friend by isolating her alone on the boat because she was not feeling fit to dive. When I told the Fun n Sun manager about this, he told me that I should never have complained! That's the last straw. Egyptian law is very strict with this kind of misdeeds. I invite you to file a complaint and above all to boycott this agency.
